Bumping thread.
So in a situation like this, How much would it affect the utility bills? I'm starting to think this may be worthy for infloor setup in the garage, and some cooling for the summer.
In the garage who cares if it 'only' makes 10C in the winter, it's perfect and must be cheaper than upfront cost of forced or Radiant heaters through the life of 20 years??
Interesting.
